ACCESSORIES REPORT: Western Flair

Cowboy boots are a Southern wardrobe staple and can be found everywhere on campus. Cowboy boots are a year-round essential in Athens and I know that I am guilty of relying on them too frequently. They are just so easy to pair with leggings and an oversized tunic for class or a sundress for a lunch date. They are so versatile and comfortable that they are hard to resist.

I love this Fashionista’s unique pair of Old Gringo cowboy boots. They are an updated classic but still easy to pair with any outfit. These cowboy boots stood out to me thanks to the light suede and the exposed silver zipper on the side. These are eye-catching details for cowboy boots, considering most of the other boots I see on campus tend to be either basic brown or black leather. These details make for a fresh and updated look. She paired her boots with dark skinny jeans, a knit top and a white-and-tan sweater. By pairing the boots with a simple outfit, she looks polished but still practical for class.

One of the things I love most about fashion is that everyone has his or her own style. But that doesn’t mean you have to completely ignore traditional styles just to stand out. Cowboy boots can range from trendy to traditional, so every Fashionista can find a pair to match her own personal style.

Spotted: Traditional boots were seen in the fall 2012 Pucci show in Milan.
